<p>Though she is winding down her career performing with New York City Ballet, Wendy Whelan isn't retiring from the ballet world. This fall, she will join the faculty at Ballet Academy East, and will continue to share her vast experience with the students in the school's Pre-Professional Division. BAE—under the directorship of Julia Dubno and Darla Hoover—is already home to notable faculty, including former American Ballet Theatre principal <span class="cboxElement ajax">Maxim Beloserkovsky.</span></p><p><a href="http://www.pointemagazine.com/blogs/ballet-academy-east/wendy-whelan-joins-ballet-academy-east-faculty" target="_blank">read more</a></p>BAEballet academy eastNew York City BalletWendy WhelanTue, 08 Jul 2014 18:51:26 +0000Nicole Loeffler-Gladstone3925 at http://www.pointemagazine.comWendy Whelan's Next Stepshttp://www.pointemagazine.com/blogs/wendy-whelan/wendy-whelans-next-steps
<p>There have been rumblings about Wendy Whelan's New York City Ballet retirement for a while now. As of this morning, it's official: The revered principal dancer will take her final bow with the company on October 18.<br /> <br />There's no word yet on what she'll dance for that last show, the culmination of three decades of extraordinary work with NYCB. Yet, however emotional that moment is guaranteed to be, this is just the end of one chapter in Whelan's remarkable career. <br /> </p><p><a href="http://www.pointemagazine.com/blogs/wendy-whelan/wendy-whelans-next-steps" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Edward WatsonNew York City BalletNew York City CenterRestless CreatureWendy WhelanMon, 31 Mar 2014 14:48:07 +0000Margaret Fuhrer3802 at http://www.pointemagazine.comThe Restless Wendy Whelanhttp://www.pointemagazine.com/blogs/week-dance/restless-wendy-whelan
<p>Few ballerinas are as adventurous as New York City Ballet’s Wendy Whelan. “I like to be the paint and the brush,” she says, “but just not the person holding the brush.” At the Guggenheim’s Works &amp; Process this weekend, Whelan discussed and performed excerpts of "Restless Creature," a suite of duets created collaboratively with contemporary dancer-choreographers Kyle Abraham, Joshua Beamish, Brian Brooks and Alejandro Cerrudo.</p>
